You’ve heard it a million times before – it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. Excess humidity can have a big impact on your home’s comfort and the health of your family.

We all know that excessive moisture can be a bad thing, causing mold growth, breathing problems and even damage to the windows and wood in our homes…but other than running a single room dehumidifier… what can be done?

Your healthy solution is a whole house de-humidifier. You heard right. This unit actually removes excessive humidity not just from one room but utilizes your home's existing ductwork to remove humidity from every room in your house automatically.

It works much in the same way that a portable room dehumidifier does. Humid air passes thru refrigerant coils extracting the humidity. The water is then collected and conveniently run to a nearby drain, so you never have a messy pan of water to try and balance to empty.

Since it’s attached to your home's ductwork, your living room, upstairs and even basement remain perfectly dry and less humidity in the summer times mean you stay cooler!

Wipe out that clammy feeling

Get rid of indoor stickiness

Say goodbye to musty odors

Use the system with a humidistat to maintain a desired level of humidity or you can use it’s timer function to run at certain times of the day.

By removing the humidity in the air, our skin more readily evaporates moisture and that how our bodies cool down. So in a nutshell, the less humidity in our homes, the more our skin evaporates moisture and the cooler we feel even in the sticky summer heat.

A whole house dehumidifier could be your solution to a dryer healthier way to live.
